The New York Giants released placekicker Josh Brown, the team announced on Tuesday.
The NFL suspended Brown for the season opener in Dallas for violating the League’s Personal Conduct Policy. That suspension was based on his May 22, 2015 arrest on domestic violence charges, which were dismissed approximately five days after the arrest.
Brown served his suspension, returned to the Giants on September 12, and subsequently participated in five games.
Last Wednesday, approximately 24 hours before the Giants were to depart for London, new information was released by authorities in Washington State. The new materials disclosed a history of alleged domestic violence by Brown.
